Navy SEAL Renzo Bianchi has a soft spot for Canaan Finley, and not only because the man makes a mean smoothie. He’s the first guy to get Renzo’s motor revving in a long time. But when he agrees to Canaan’s insane charade—one all-access fake boyfriend, coming right up—he never expects more than a fling.
Creating a hot Italian SEAL boyfriend to save face seemed like a good idea…until his friends called Canaan’s bluff. Now he’s setting off into the woods with the very man who inspired his deception, and Canaan is not the outdoorsy type. The sparks are already flying when a flash flood separates them from their group, leaving Renzo and Canaan very much trapped…very much alone in the wilderness.
Working together to come up with a plan for survival is sexier than either of them expects. But back in the real world, being a couple is bringing its own set of hazards…

What I thought about Rough Terrain
Navy Seal Renzo isn't really looking for a hookup or a relationship with smoothie-maker Canaan even though there's a mutual attraction there. But when Renzo is encouraged to take a few days off, he agrees to a go on a camping trip arranged by Canaan's old band. There's a lot of history there for Canaan and showing up with Renzo will do a lot for letting his friends know he's moved on.
A surprise rain storm strikes the camping trip, putting Renzo and Canaan in harm's way, but Renzo is completely prepared and averts disaster. Facing the situation together puts their relationship in the spotlight and they decide to give the relationship a try, but there's only one thing in the way -- Renzo's request for a transfer back east.
Like all the books in this series, the story moves along quite nicely and I was invested in what would happen to these two men early on in the story. There was just enough conflict to make things interesting and enough feelings that this reader wanted Renzo and Canaan to at least have a chance at happiness together.
I enjoyed Rough Terrain, especially the exciting drama on the camping trip. It's a good addition to a great series.
